"The major problems of the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and the way man thinks." – Gregory Bateson

“Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” - John Muir

Embodying Nature Retreat and Training

May 31-June 9, 2019 French Alps (near Grenoble) Assisted by Isabelle Jubert

Training begins at 14:00 on May 31, and ends at 12:00 on June 9. Group size limited to 9 people

This training is designed for the experienced professional who is interested in the confluence of somatics and the expressive arts (dance, song and creative writing) in the natural environment. The Embodying Nature protocol has been developed and refined over the past 30 years, making it accessible, inclusive, and easily adaptable for different environments and interest groups.

The fees for this training are purposefully below standard rates to encourage dedicated participation at all levels. As this work continues to grow, documentation and application are important aspects of transmission. Each participant will be responsible for a day's worth of documentation (in English) to be shared with the group after the training. An individual consultation with Jamie online is included in the fees for transition and assimilation post-training.

Fees: Quad room (four beds): €950   
Double room (two beds): €1,050

Fees include: Teaching, lodging, audio recordings of theory, Embodying Nature manual*, collective documentation, individual consult online with Jamie after the training, and final evening catered meal.

These fees are for registrations received by March 1, 2019; €100 additional afterwards

Not included in fees: Food, linens and towels, and transportation. Due to the wide range of dietary considerations, each person is responsible for their own food, with meals prepared as desired - solo or with others.

For training application and more information, contact Isabelle Jubert: isabellejubert@orange.fr

*The Embodying Nature manual is a curated collection of resources, activities, and various progressions of this method that have been used over the years.
